Lessons of confection

 

In March 2013, seven year old Josh Welch was suspended from a Baltimore elementary school, for biting off pieces of his strawberry tart, trying to make it look like a mountain. It ended up looking like a gun. One hates to think, what panic may have ensued, if a lunch bag had been popped simultaneously.

Now pastry can become a gun, spelling threat to anyone.

For such a random act of thought a lunchroom lesson must be taught.

Best keep your meal close under wrap, to obviate another flap.

Stifle thinking at it’s start, even if it’s just a tart.

Outlaws all within a nation, restricting free association.
